Creating Workouts and Practices

How do I create a Workout or Practice?

Owners, coaches and players can create and edit workouts by selecting TRAIN from the menu bar, then “Workouts & Practices”

Then click the “+” icon and choose to create either a Workout or Practice. Both the Workouts and Practices work the same way. Once you have chosen between the two, you must complete the details in the Workout or Practice like the title and optional media attachment. When you get to the “exercise” section in Workouts or “drills” section in Practices, you can click on the “+” to create new exercises and drills or add existing exercises or drills.

Once Workouts or Practices are created, coaches and owners can schedule and assign them to any of their students or rosters. Students can only assign workouts and practices to themselves to complete.

How do I complete a Workout or Practice?

When assigned a workout or practice, the player will receive an email from the Blast Connect platform. When the student logs in and clicks on “Workouts & Practices” under the TRAIN tab, they will see the assigned Workouts and Practices and have the ability to complete their assigned workouts with added notes and edits to reps completed, etc. Coaches and Owners can complete their own workouts as well by viewing "Personal Mode" in the Workouts & Practices section of Blast Connect.

How do I create a roster?

As an Academy Owner or Coach, to create a roster, click on your profile picture in the top right corner of Blast Connect > select CONNECTIONS > Select the ROSTERS tab > click on the large plus sign to the right of the ROSTERS tab > fill out Roster Name, assign a coach (if you are an owner), and assign students on the roster > finish by selecting ADD ROSTER

To edit or add students to a Roster, click the three vertical dots to the right of the roster name and select EDIT ROSTER.
